Wednesday 8-26: Jim Boos

A brief moment to remember the great Barry Melrose and what he meant to this sport, then we start our 2026-27 College Hockey Preview with Miami head coach Anthony Noreen. The RedHawks pulled off a 15-win improvement last season and will now try to get into the NCAA Tournament picture.

Jim Boos is in his 25th season as UMD's volleyball coach, and while his team is very active on social media, he's usually nowhere to be found. Unless he's in a group TikTok or whatever from the top of Pikes Peak. Anyway, the Bulldogs are 7-1 and set to open the NSIC season this weekend, and we talk (mostly) volleyball on the show.

(I say "mostly" because Jim is also a die-hard Packers fan. Sorry not sorry.)

Jim Boos and social media don't mix, but Jim Boos and volleyball very much do

We rant about bad officiating (Michigan v Western Michigan) and cowardly football (Luke Fickell again) from the holiday weekend, then UMD football coach Curt Wiese talks about his team finding a way to win Thursday night before facing another ranked opponent this weekend at Wayne State (the Nebraska one).
